In a much awaited announcement by the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, the Vice Presidential pick for her is former teacher and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The growing speculation over Harris' running mate has finally met its logical end. A public school teacher, a football coach and National Guardsman, Walz paved his way into national fame with a comment on the Republican candidate Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance, saying "These guys are just weird." The road to US elections has been a tough nut to crack in the past couple of months when former President Donald Trump escaped an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, President Joe Biden announced his exit from the presidential bid and global geo-political situation changing overnight. It is the honor of a lifetime to join @kamalaharris in this campaign. I’m all in. Vice President Harris is showing us the politics of what’s possible. It reminds me a bit of the first day of school.

While adding to his post on X, Walz said "Vice President Harris is showing us the politics of what’s possible. It reminds me a bit of the first day of school." The former President Donald Trump's team criticised the choice of Kamala Harris' running mate and in a post on X they said, "Tim Walz: Another Left-Wing Extremist."
